Wtf. He scored 39 as a sub $350k player at CTR/WFB. That's a win

I didn't say his score was shit for a centre. There are currently (based on one round only), two players that can play centre that have scored better that are cheaper. He is on notice because if this happens next week or the week after as well, doesn't it make sense to bring them into your 17. Is the point not to have the best scoring players in your 1-17?

I also have Nikora on the bench which would move into centre so I am not restricted to bring in another centre, I can bring another player in any position which will give me more consistency.

I might be looking at it wrong or differently to others

What about the inbred goons that piled on, had him in choke hold and wouldn't get off. They should be charged with assault

Glasby to Gillett for me.

Think that might be my only trade.

Maybe Garrick to a performing cow.

Frizell busted his nut and still played on tough nut to crack.


Twal replacement will probably be one of host/Lawrie no doubt I'll pick the wrong one or just get both and get rid of Garrick in the process.

Most videos don't show it but there was another guy who came and just kicked the kid while he was being held down on the ground.

I imagine the kid is not being charged because no one else is or something along those lines.

LAM got 46 mins, isn't that close to max minutes in the Warriors prop rotation?

I think its been mentioned on here a lot in preseason that Warriors tend to share the minutes around pretty evenly in the props, that's why a lot of people were scared away from LAM even before he was named on the bench.

No prop will maintain 50mins+ through the season.

gotta hate final minute moves. I went from friend and fifita to macca and taupau on thursay night. Im filthy

Fuck me. He played on.

He's a machine. As soon as I bust a nut, I'm done for the night.

damn, that's a shocker. bad luck mate.

Are we able to leave the politics out of the next thread?

I reckon that regardless of opinions we all agree on something here (enjoying fantasy) which is why we are posting here in the first place.
I just think it's refreshing not having to read about it here, given it is all over the media and will be for months with elections coming up.

Something so divisive like politics isn't worth derailing the chat, regardless of opinion or baiting some people to react.
Part of the reason why you get both extremes trying to out do the other 'tit for tat' and part of the bigger problems in media and society.

Other off topic things aren't an issue based on history of this forum, just this one is worth steering clear of

Just my 2c

early trades i've got in mind are lodge > fifita, and kahu > lawrie

You posted Twal wasn't a great buy and I still went with him. Any chance he improves?

He got the minutes he needs, just needs the PPM increased and would be fine.

In games >40 minutes last season he had between 31 and 41 tackles, last game only 29 tackles in 49 minutes, which is an outlier. 2 missed tackles is also the most he had last season.

I thought you meant trading him out. If you're keeping him in the reserves then I retract my comment. But people played Teddy et al for poor scores so 39 in a wet game is great for the backs.

Players that score badly in the wet....
Teddy (wears short studs)
Taupau (doesn't offload)

Any others we should be aware of and why?

Stop being a sheep and make your own decisions then.

Some here feel part of a community and feel genuine friendships with the people here. It's natural to talk about other things they're interested in.

In other news, is Lawrie going to play 40 minutes each week? He looks good for 1 PPM going off last season and good signs in round 1

Likely, until Friz and Sims return.

I’ve got 6 as well and 655. I reckon that’s around par. Although Brown and Moses together could go either way for your score.

Either -3 or 110 no inbetween haha
